12 Lives Battle Thread (Hosted by RavingRabbid)

[MyNameIsJoey]

I personnally agree with RavingRabbid on these match-ups.

To be honest, i dont see why one rule gets forgotten because one is more important, you follow the first rule, then the second...

one of the principles of the swiss tournament is that you don't face any opponent twice...
so i don't agree with you Higurashi...

probably the swiss tournament was not the best choice for 12 lives, but once the tourney has started...

[Higurashi]

Funny.. I've linked that wiki page to all the people involved in the debate. Yes, you don't want players facing each other twice, but it's secondary to making sure people face the ones who have done as well as them. This is even more important when a player gains an advantage by being in the lead, such as in this case.
For reference, that wiki page is wrong on several points. Ask Kael if you want a second opinion on that.

In any case, I'm pleased as long as we get someone to wrap this up. I don't really care who faces who. I was just surprised to see it wasn't being run they way I thought it was. We all know kev's gonna win, so it's pretty inconsequential now.

I won't run this event anymore because my brain is the size of a peanut and I'm not smart enough to run this.

ill take care of it . Though, i cannot be there tomorrow.
As for the match-ups, they are staying the same that Raving has put.

the problem is that this event was riddled with confusion and chaos from the get go
wasnt anyone's fault because its the first time this event is hosted so only thing we can do is learn from it and make sure any future '12 lives' will be better for everyone involved
please put down any suggestion and feedback in the appropriate thread

[Higurashi]

Agreed.  I love the general concept. Just too many organizers quitting.

Considering we are into Christmas, I'll let more time for fights this round.
